DESCRIPTION

        The A-Kwic Indexing System provides tools for performing
        rapid keyword searches of user data.
        
        Applications for A-Kwic would include:
           * Indexing contents of CD-ROMs.
           * Indexing the contents of software archives, such as 'aminet'.
           * Indexing any collection text, such as audio or video collections.
           * Allowing keyword searches of customer records, or other business
             related data.
           * As part of a "customer support" toolset, allowing keyword
             searches of "Bug Reports" or "Fix Databases".
        
        Features of the A-Kwic system are:
           * A database loader that uses user created input to build A-Kwic
             databases. This gives the user complete control of how the data
             is indexed.
           * Programs  to build input files for FISH and Aminet CD-ROM
             contents are provided in source (C and ARexx) and binary form.
           * Searches of the database are interactive, and are done using
             user specified keywords.
           * Multiple keywords can be ANDed and ORed.
           * Selected records can be viewed with a user specified text
             viewer.
           * The programs can be run from the WorkBench, via Icons, or from
             the CLI.
           * Built in AmigaGuide help system
